==History==
 +
The Wraiths were founded in [[3053]] by wealthy Capellan Joshua Ling. When the stable was formed, generated excitement in the Reaches when it had number victories with its formation. However, the stable came under scrutiny when a report from '''Solaris Spectator''' fabricated a story of rigged matches, from urging [[Silver Dragon Stables]].
  
On [[3055]], the Wraiths were fighting matches in a number of arenas in the Reaches though they favored [[The Scrapyard]] and the [[Hartford Gardens]].<ref name="SolarisTheReachesp14"/>
+
Publicly, the rumors of dispute accrued between the two stables, which resulted in defection of several members of the Silver Dragons joining the Stable.  The Stable has never public commented on what had transpired.
  
In [[3071]], the final year of the [[Word of Blake]] [[Operation SHOWTIME|occupation of Solaris]] during the [[Jihad]], the Wraiths had joined forced with other stables in the [[Solaris Home Defense League]] to eject the Blakist forces off-world. However tensions between the stables remained even with their common foe, most notably in June when Ulter Pentrovsky (then ranked 18th in the [[Top 20 Unlimited Class List|Top Twenty]]) and seven other members of the Wraiths ambushed and killed a [[lance]] of top-rated warriors from [[Overlord Stables]] in [[Cathay]]. The ambush would trigger a series of short and brutal battles between Lyran and Capellan leaning stables, ultimately culminating in the destruction of the Wraiths.<ref name=JSTBD-25>''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 25: "Operation: Showtime - Rebellion"</ref>
+
The Stable has been known for shortage of 'Mechs for its MechWarriors.
  
However, a review of the financial position of Solaris corporations and stable in [[3072]] secured by [[Hachiman Taro Electronics]] indicated the Wraiths had suffered only 37% losses, though its actual status was unknown.<ref name=JSTBD-26>''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 26: "Operation: Showtime - Solaris VII Corporate Profiles (1Q, 3072)"</ref>
